KATHMANDU: International donors led by India and China pledged around $3 billion to rebuild quake-devastated Nepal on Thursday, as the country’s premier vowed “zero tolerance” of corruption and said all aid money would go to victims.
Nepal says it needs around $6.7 billion to recover from the April disaster, which killed more than 8,800 people, destroyed nearly half a million houses and left thousands in need of food, clean water and shelter.
